Chemical Reaction Method: Initial Flush: Poured boiling water down the drain to loosen grease and soap scum. Baking Soda & Vinegar: Added 0.5 cup of baking soda followed by 1 cup of vinegar . Wait Time: The mixture was allowed to sit for 5–10 minutes to break down organic matter. Mechanical Intervention: Plunging: Utilized a rubber plunger (or a polyine bag wrapped around a mop ) to create hydraulic pressure. Vigorous Pumping: Applied consistent pressure until solid debris and "black ooze" were dislodged from the U-bend. Commercial Solvents: For persistent clogs, specialized drain cleaners were applied and left to sit for up to 15 minutes before a final flush. 4.
